AGNES MacPHAIL Some Recollections of Canada's First Woman MP By M. McINTYRE HOOD News of the passing of Miss MacPhail has come to us th a sense of shock, and with regret that this notable Canadian woman has passed away. As we read of her untimely from a heart attack, we alled our first meetings and associations with her. These dat- ed back to 1921, to the week after she was elected the first woman to sit in the Parliament of Crnada. Fresh from triumph, she came to the riding Of North Oxford to take part in a nar oN Ross, who sat in the legisla.ure for many years was the United Farmers' candidate. She came to ak on his behalf in the by- e] n campaign, and she made a tremendous impression, and had much to do with his victory. On occasion, we drove, on a cold winter's day, from Wood- stock to the village of Hickson, ~ where she was to speak at a politi- cal meeting. There we found 'the *ebairman nonplussed, because the top UFO brass of North ) was on hand to wel- come and introduce her. The result was that we had the privilege of introducing Miss MacPhail to the meeting, an unuseual role for a newspaper man out there to cover ter the meeting, we drove 'Woods had he = Ry ege of entertain "ack tall fo dinner. . strong human Bo he strong HUMANITY UPPERMOST a bitterly cold day.

Her great fondness of children was area: in the way, was ges tion ba '| with in which she enjoying having him nestled against her. We learned to appreciate the great heart of Miss MacPhail on that winter evening in 1921 when she poured out her philosophy of life as we sat at the fireplace. We sensed that sie was destined to be a cr pion of the rights of the yo and oppressed, the aged and the infirm, determin- ed to use her influence as a mem- ber of parliament to secure a greater measure of social justice 1 all who needed it. Thus, when 12 UFO party collapsed, and its ccessor, the Progressive party ceased to be a factor in the politi: cal life of Canada, it was natural that she should turn to the CCF as the medium through which to express her political jdegls. RETURN FROM RUSS We had another very a eratin meeting with Miss MacPhail, on the dock at Quebec when she re- turned from her visit to Russia in 1937. We hailed each other as old friends, and she discussed her ex- periences in the Soviet Union. She expressed her opinions briefly but forcefully; "The people there seem to be satisfied with their way of life," she said, "but it would never be acceptable to the people of Can- ada, Communism would never be a way of living to which our peo- ple would submit." To her, that summed up laconically her views after she had seen the Soviet plan in action. We have had many meetings Miss MacPhail since then, as a personal friend who used to call for a spot of tea or a pot-luck meal. She never lost her ideals which first brought her into the JSiieical arena, but at times she elt bitter that progress in putting et | them into effect for the benefit of the people of Canada was so slow. In spite of our differences in poli- tical viewpoint, our friendship re- mained, dating back to that night Overd ue Books Bring $1.456 To Library Oshawans who kept library books overdue last year donated $1,456.80 to the Oshawa Library coffers. This may be an indication that more books are being borrow- ed Fr in 1952 when the overdue collections amounted to $1,321.32. If you have a book overdue, you will probably first receive a tele- phone notice. If that and three written notices do not get the book from you, the Crown Counsel can send a police officer to collect the book and the overdue fine, which reaches a maximum of $5 per volume. One delinquent borrower recent- N wivte from Paris, France, that he did not have the book the M- brary said he had. Whether he went to Paris to escape the long ,arm of the library or not will id 'ever remain a mystery to them. They did not get back the book. Sometimes the reply to a request for an overdue book brings a sur- prising answer. Librarians have heard every lame excuse there is: illness, in- convenience, loss, the dog chewed it and so on, from tardy borrow- ers. Some books are only returned after being lost for months in dusty shelves and obscure corners. Some are never found and are re- placed, if popularity warrants, by the money collected in overdue fines. If a person has lost a book he can make up to the library by paying them the purchase price of the volume--plus mailing costs The Library has issued a pam- phlet containing its regulations and rules which might not be too fam- iliar to eld patrons as well as new borrowers: Applicants not registered in the city directory must be signed for by someone listed. Non-residents pay a fee of $1 per year. Visitors in the city may borrow books on deposit of $2 per volume, which is refunded. Non-residents may keep books double the usual time. To re- serve a book fill out a card at the desk which will be sent when the book is available. In the boys' and girls' depart- ment story hours are held and films are shown every Saturday morning at 10.30. Mothers and teachers are especially welcomed by the friendly children's staff. Phonograph records, of which the library now has a large selec- tion, classical and semi-classical, may be borrowed by members at two cents per record per day. The Library houses the films and equipment of the Oshawa Film Counil. Service organizations and church groups may make use of these facilities for a small charge. Education Costs Trebled In 12 Years TORONTO (CP) -- Soaring op- erating costs, indebtedness and teachers' salaries were indicated in the annual report of the Ontario department of education Monday. The report, tabled in the Legis- « lature by Education Minister Dun- lop, said teachers' salaries in On- tario public schools trebled in the last 12 years. Salaries for teachers in separate schools increased by COMING EVENTS almost as much and those in sec- audaty schools had doubled. At the same time operating costs had trebled in all typek of schools, gapital « costs had increased from $8,000 to $22,000,000 and in- dcbiedness had multiplied five times Figures for teachers' salaries for 1952-53, with those for 1940-41 in brackets: Public schools: Men $2,434 ($888) $760).

SAD END TO CAREER Miss MacPhail was one more of those who gave the best years of life to the service of their country and reaped little or no reward. The last time we spoke to her, she was keeping a boarding-house in Toronto in an effort to make ends meet. It was a sad ending to a career which had brought her to thc heights, but had seen her drift back into seclusion and insecurity. The social justice for which she fought for others was, in her de- clining years, denied her, and so, in straitened circumstances al- most forgotten by the people she had served so well, "Aggie" end- ed her days. But because of what she did, and what she meant to her day and generation, she will have abiding place in the history of her country. I THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE OSHAWA Combining The Oshawa Times and Whitby Gazette and Chronicle WHITBY VOL. 13--No. 39 OSHAWA-WHITBY, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1954 PAGE THREE Sees Canada World Leader That Canada will exert a far greater influence in the ia due to the excellence of her musical and vocal talent than through the development of the St. Lawrence Seaway, the Labrador iron ore de- Josits or the Alberta oil fields, Boas the opinion expressed by Dr. Bo; Neat here fete, Yesteray, dress at the luncheon mR of the Oshawa Rotary Club, A which members of the shawa Music Teachers' Associa- tion were present, Dr. Neel spoke of the possibility of establishing a Canadian ppera company which would PrOvK le spportuiities for the Canadian artists Hoy ore I to go to the United States and Euro) Deflating some of the Jar belief about musicians and opera singers, Dr. Neel said opera is a rather complex form of art which is a combination of theatrical arts. For proper presentation, due to the size of the cast, the number of musicians and the need for a many - seated auditorium, it must have a large building. There is no such theatre in Canada available at the moment but he hoped steps would be taken to provide one. The production of opera is a very expensive undertaking and it can never be made a paying propo- sition. Since its origin in Italy in 1660 nearly every government has subsidized opera at one time or another as the public is not at- tracted by it as they are to mu- seums or arb galleries. Dr. Neal commented that the Stratford Drama Festival had done more to raise Canada's prestige in the United States and else- where than any other happening in recent years. He felt that now that Canadi have beat: the climate and the country's vast dis- tances they should stop and take stock of their abilities and achieve- ment. If they did this he believed that within 20 or 30 years Canada would lead the world in art and music as the Recessary talent and ability are already here. The speaker was introduced by R. G. Geen while the appreciation of the audience was expressed by . G. Storie. Permission for a self-contained shopping area to be. built on the Herman Goldstein subdivision in Wilson Road near Olive Avenue was granted by city council last night despite earlier recommenda- tions by the Planning Board ad- vising against such a development. Mr. Goldstein and a friend, Ed S Bet, a former Mayor of Owen apps pearing before council, Sond: that since the subdivider just across the road had been granted permission to build a shopping centre the newer subdi- vision should be allowed the same Pirie, Both subdivision areas, it nted out, were classified as the same zoning area R-2. PLANS CHANGED Mayor Naylor, speaking from the floor, noted that the land use plans had been changed owing to earlier undesirable developments. The Planning Board's policy was not to allow shopping districts im- mediately across the road from one another. '""We are trying to regulate de- velopment for the best interests of the city," Mr. Naylor explain- ed. Since the Jackson application on Wilson Road had been made first, permission had been granted for a Shopping, area there. "Had Mr. Goldstein been first, he would undoubtedly have been allowed to build a shopping cen- te. ** Alderman Finley Dafoe add- Aldermen Orville Eagle and Jo- seph Victor argued for free enter- prise. If the area could not sup- port the two shopping centres, one or other of the subdividers would change his mind ' about the busi- ness prospects, he said. Grant Permission For Shopping Area In its recommendation, the Plan. ning Board suggested that the shopping area to be erected on the Jackson subdivision would be sufficient to serve the needs of the area SHOULD RAISE SIGHTS "We should raise our sights a little in this matter of city plan- ning," Alderman Walter Lane de- |p clared. The oan he said, was to build major shopping districts off main traffic pee es. A perfect il- lustration," he thought, was the Hudson Bay shopping area in Ajax, where the location was off the traf- fic artery and there were no park- ing or traffic problems. "Even the ong-sided devel ment in North Oshawa is already proving disruptive to the traffic flow on Simcoe Street," he said. He thought the Planning Board was already allowing Jrenty of space in the Wilson Road area for shopping centres. He suggested the wea behind it be opened up so that the shopping districts would be completely away from the traf- fic arteries. In a prepared brief, Mr. Gold- stein argued that since Norman C. Millman, chairman of the Plan- ning Board, had said all future planning would have to be done in expectation of a population of 90,- 000, the construction of major shopping areas away from the cen- tral congested part of the city would seem appropriate. In a lose vote, the free enter- prise argument carried and the gommeréial area was approved by The other subdivision regulations recommended the Planning Board were adopted by council. Bowmanville Ties Playoft On Sy Win By I. W. PARKINSON BOWMANVILLE -- Hilarity reigned in Bowmanville cage circles when the local Intermed- iate 'C' OBA entry in the Lake- shore league evened the play-off series with Port Perry Lions by virtue of a well-earned 59-51 vic- tory. The rubber-town quintet start- ed in early and lead the contest the whole way despite the fact that the visiting Lions neyer gave up and made the game a real contest. Coming up with a very fine first quarter the Kinsmen were lead by Bill Dadson and Rundle as they built up a 17-7 lead. The 2nd quar- ter saw the homesters continue to dominate the play and they raised their lead to 12 points and walked off at half-time enjoying a 33-21 margin. Bud Warriner and George Rodd carried the offensive first half. The visitors improved slightly during the third quarter and cut the margin to 40-33 at the end of the third stanza with the scoring, little as it was being widely spread. In the final hectic stanza, the Lions appeared on the way to one of their great comebacks when they cut the margin to 5 points and had another foul shot when the Kinsmen took time-out. But the home lads took over during the mid-way mark of the last quarter and caught the Lions via fast|4 breaks to roar into a 15 point lead. With the game in its last three minutes the visitors lead by Bud Warriner showed they still had scoring punch and cut the margin down to 4 points. Then the Kins- men took over and tallied the last two baskets to earn an 8 point verdict and take the contest 59-51. Bill Dell and Don Seeley handled the game most efficiently and little escaped their eyes as they handed out 38 fouls -- the homesters get- ting 27 to the visitors 11. However many of their free-throws while the Kinsmen hit for a much better average. Both teams played without key men, the Kinsmen being minus Bob Gallagher while the Lions lacked Griffen and Owen The third and RN ciding game of the series will be played in Port Perry on Wednesday, Feb. 24. Top scorer of the evening was Bud Warriner of the Lions with 22 while' Ted Dadson and Lefty Hodgson of the Kinsmen were the big guns for Bowmanville with 16 and 14 respectively.

City council will begin to 'deter- mine it when the finance committee as a whole meets this Wednesday February 17, but indications are that Botting will be revealed to the public until the budget is approved probably the following Monday night. It is quite likely that another | 0 finance committee meeting will be necessary on Friday night to iron out details. Last year's mill rate was set at 57 mills, That is, city taxpayers paid $57 for each $1,000 of their assessment last year. NEED MORE REVENUE This year it is generally accept. ed that the assessment will be creased considerably. Thus, even at the same mill rate more revenue will be obtained. It is also gener- ally that iderably more revenue will be necessary for 1954 is Oshawa is to continue to keep up with its expansion, which is proceeding at one of the fastest rates in the province. At first glance the problem would seem to be: If the mill rate re- mains the same is the increased revenue from the increased assess- ment going to be large enough to cover the increased expenditure? That, say financial experts is a false impression. In the first place, increased as- sessments do not necessitate in- creased revenue at the same level of mill rate not if expenses have a greater increase. When a new industrial plant or residential sec- tion is built in the city the owners to be sure do contribute substan- tially to the city coffers by paying ta--~s, according to the current mill rate, on the value of the con- structions. NEW INSTALLATIONS But these developments also ne- cessitate great expense on the part of the city which becomes respons- ible for the installation of sewers, water, power, roads and other facil- ities. As a matter of fact the ex- pense incurred by these installa- tions is usually greater than. the added revenue at first -- unless an unusually large construction is built in an area that is particularly cheap to service. The cost of water, sewers, side- walks and pavements is always is- sued in debentures. But there are lenty of other expenditures, usual- ky current, that could be added to the debenture debt instead of to the current mill rate. Thus the council could take most of the gravy from the increased assess- ment during 1954 and leave the bills to be paid in other years. Perhaps it was something of this sort, Ald. Joseph Victor, chair Expect Council To Strike New Tax Rate Next Week man of the finance committee, re- ferred to last year when he said: '""We have been living in a bit of a fool's paradise." Last year the mill rate Jumpe 9.5 mills, from 47.5 to 5 aid Ald. Victor: "The mill rate should have gone up to 50 mills last year instead of being pegged. Now we have, to lump two years raise in INACCURATE INDICATOR Actually then, the mill rate could be an inaccurate indication of the city's financial situation. The mill rate could be set very low and all the debts pushed off for a decade by heavy debentures. That would be more expensive in the long run, since the higher the debenture and the longer its tern, the greater are the interest payments. onversely, council does not want to pay too much at once and set the mill rate so high as to work hardship on the citizenry in 1954. It is these two extremes that council will juggle with next week --striving to put them in wise pro- portion to each other, As if deciding "what we're going to pay for now' and "what we're going to pay for later' weren't enough, council must also decide: "What are we going to do this year?" and "What are we going to have done later?" DEPARTMENT EXPENSES Departmental expenditures are fairly constant and are necessary to provide for such conveniences as efficient garbage disposal, snow removal, maintenance of roads in adequate driving condition, ete. In addition any number of other ex- penditures, major and minor, could be undertaken. Miles of sidewalks are needed in various parts of the city. Residents on many streets are petitioning for sewers or for waterworks. The innumerable factors of the complex question of what to spend, what to pay for now and what to pay for later will be thoroughly considered by city council this week. City treasurer H. E. Tripp makes the largest part of the ex- penditure and revenue estimates. Other spetial departments like fire, police, civil defence and dog catch: er"s departments, prepare their own expenditure budgets. Mr. Tripp has been busy collecting figures for the past month. These will be presented to the whole council in finance commit- tee this Wednesday. That body un- der Alderman Joe Victor, chair- man of the finance committee and Alderman Gordon Attersley, vice- chairman, will do the final jug- gling. The results should be known next. week. a personal look into the peoples, history, natural resources and re- creational areas of the places they visit. These can be found not only at popular and busy places of in- terest but also off the well-trav- elled highways.

R. B. Smith, told policy holders at the annual meeting at Columbus Township Hall yester- day. The company paid out more than $43,000 on one occasion last year when a barn and its contents -- includ- ing poultry--were destroyed SERIOUS SITUATION "This is a serious thing," the President. "In some places barns are being converted into three or four-deck poultry runs ith all sorts of electrical equip- ent. I think a lot of our fires are caused by too much electrical equipment. Farmers have the place wired then fix up wiring of their own--but they are not elec- tricians." Lt.-Col. Smith pointed out that although the company was now paying out about three times the amount on policies than some 15 years ago no extra money was being asked from policy holders. The company was giving broader coverage on policies too and it was hoped to extend this even further each year. Since the last meeting the board of directors had decided that agents should again be admitted to their meetings. "Three years ago we banned them but they are back mow and they are not so noisy. We have found that with their field work they help us to keep in touch with what is going on," continued Lt.-Col. Smith. Mutuals had helped stabilise in- surance and had saved farmers millions of dollars. The company would bear that in mind and try to keep it up in future, he added. FINANCES SOUND The financial report showed that total insurance in force at the end of last year was $87,789,820 com- pared with $82,208,198 in 1952. Less was paid out in claims--$167, 910.89 in 1953 and $190,693.13 in 1952; and assets were up -- $362,110. 41 last year to $341,962.45 in 1952. Policy holders were warned by Alderman Lyman Gifford that id thought the company was at the peak of its business mow. "Our area is getting smaller.

Miss Lane's travel wardrobe was "Colour-Controlled"" with a neutral tone predominating, spiced with a dark and a bright colour for contrast. 'Neutrals in medium tones of beige or gray hide road dust, look right in hot or cold weather", she reported. The wardrobe consisted of a suit with plenty of underarm and knee .room for travelling comfort; a two-piece print dress with a con- vertible neckline and full skirt which could switch its personality at sundown; a three-piece specta- tor sports outfit including a wrap- around skirt, strapless bodice and matching bolero; and a "rugged life" costume of sports shirt with shorts or pedal-pushers . "This combination of clothes is ready for both anticipated and unex- pected fun", Miss Lane said. Has Praise For Parks She praised the national and provincial parks for being "good buys" in low cost vacations for families. "Don't deny your child- ren the major enjoyment in a park area--the search for wild life. Simple equipment like in- sect nets, sieves or binoculars for handling or observing butterflies, stream life or birds, can either be made at home taken off the kitch- en shelves or purchased inexpen- sively, Add one or two beginner's handbooks to help the child identi- fy what he finds." "We have the edge on our forefathers who forged across the country form the Atlantic to the Pacific, she pointed out. They learned about our land while they moved. But with the automobile, to-day, we can relax while we learn!"
